Easy Homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette

This is one of my most popular and well-loved recipes, complete with some new YouTube video love. 🙂

The ingredient list is pretty simple, and you likely already have these items in your pantry or fridge.

My original post included instructions on how to make a single serving, which I do all the time. But! I know some people prefer to make a whole jar to eat off for a week or two. So I refreshed things a bit.

I love using a mason jar to make this lately. If you would rather make a whole bottle, use the proportions in parentheses in the below recipe.

This dressing is pretty strong and flavorful, so you don’t need a ton to get big flavor. One serving is about 1.5 tablespoons. If you need more, you don;t have to feel too bad since it is pretty light and healthy.

Balsamic vinaigrette is one of my ALL time favorites because it is so versatile. I use it multiple times a week, and I use it in a ton of my recipes here on the blog.

I was looking for a extra low point vinaigrette recipe that also tasted great. I found it here. I made the whole recipe version. I did make a couple of changes, it sounded like a lot of mustard so I cut it by about 1/3 the amount. I also add 1 garlic clove, minced and both the oregano and basil. For enhanced emulsion I added 1/8 tsp xanthan gum powder. Add everything together except the oil to a small bowl, whisk until blended, then add oil in small stream until all oil is incorporated. This is one of my favorite dressings, home made or bought. Oh, I used a white pear infused balsamic, great flavor. Thanks for the recipe.

You have got me hooked this!! This is my FAVORITE dressing for salads. So quick and easy to make and, you’re right…. a little goes a long way. LOVE that it’s only 1 point. How awesome is that????? Thanks for sharing!
